💎 Spiritual Significance
For the Māori of Aotearoa New Zealand, Pounamu is a taonga (treasure) imbued with mana (spiritual power). It is believed to protect its wearer, connect them to the land and ancestors, and grow more personal over time as it absorbs the wairua (spirit) of its owner. Worn close to the heart, even a small tumbled piece is said to bring strength, grounding, and guidance.
